Zeer knappe prestatie! he Sieb, van iemand die op weg is naar zijn 9e wereld titel moet je wel bijna een beetje fan als echte cross fanaat!!!
Sorry Joop, in die Dave Grant periode vond ik hem arrogant maar hij heeft zich vebeterd hoor! Zijn stijl is wel geweldig.
Joel is voor mij de man! Nix geen poespas, gewoon gassen.
"It was a very bad day. I suffered from the heat more than I expected. My fitness has been good all year long but I have been working hard since last September and maybe I am going through a small dip at the moment. In the first moto I felt fatigue in my muscles and like I did not have enough oxygen. I tried to recuperate as much as possible between the motos and things were going better in the second race. I was catching Steve and Mickael and I felt another top three was possible, then I had an unfortunate collision with Steve and it was my fault. I went to see him to apologise; that is not how I like to overtake. I thought I was going to come out of the corner further ahead but I misjudged. We had different riding directions and that's how I took his front wheel. It was a sad race incident because we both lost decent points. With the exhaust coming off it was noisy as hell. Altogether it was a day to forget."
Steve Ramon:
"My starts could have been better. My speed was good but there was a gap to the first four riders in the first race so I knew it was not possible to get close. It was very tough with the weather and fifth was the best I could do in the first moto. In the second moto I passed some people quickly and I was on Pichon's wheel for third until the crash. I had time over Joel but I made a mistake getting past a lapped rider and that let him close the gap. I knew I was quick enough to stay in front of him and maybe overtake Pichon but then Joel blocked me and his move was nasty. He took me out and there was nothing I could do about it. Sometimes I don't think he knows what he is doing. Again it is a bad moto even though I was eighth or ninth."
